Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …

Overview - Blood On The Tracks, Bob Dylan’s fifteenth effort, is a much better record than the past few records Dylan had put out at that time. The majority of the lyrics on this record are done from a storytelling point of view which Dylan proves he is still …

As one of the most popular country music songs between the years 2003 and 2005, the song ‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by the first ever ‘Nashville Star’ winner Buddy Jewell is one that I will never be able to shake from my mind.

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce

I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …

Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack

System of a Down is one of my most favorite bands. They’re a hard rock band and they usually dabble in heavy sounding music that more often than not has double or deep meaning behind the lyrics. In this review, I want to talk about their very first album, …
